Exposure Compensation
To modify exposure control (i.e. from the ISO standard), use the
exposure compensation function. This can be useful when the subject
has pronounced contrast or when bracketing exposure with color slide
film (where the latitude of the proper exposure is minimal). Use Center-
Weighted or Spot Metering. Exposure compensation can be performed
in any exposure mode.

• Normally, you should compensate exposure to the + side when the background is
brighter than your main subject, or to the – side when the background is darker.
: Compensation value can be set to be changed in 1/2 or one steps (page 71).
: Exposure compensation can be set to be performed using the Main- or Sub-
Command Dial without pressing the exposure compensation button (page 73).

• In any of the exposure modes, Flash Exposure Bracketing (in which the TTL
Auto Flash level of the lighted main subject is shifted) and Auto Exposure
Bracketing (in which the exposure of a background lighted by ambient light is
shifted) are simultaneously performed when a Speedlight is used.
: Bracketing can be set to perform only Auto Exposure Bracketing or Flash
Exposure Bracketing where both are normally performed simultaneously (page 73).
